Miner's Refrain Lyrics - Gillian Welch

In the black dust towns of East Tennessee 

All the works about the same 

Well you may not go to a job in the ground 

But you'll learn the Miner's Refrain 

[Chorus] 

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole 

Down in a deep dark hole 

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole 

Down in a deep dark hole

Lady Antebellum Reveal The Lyrics To 'This City' 

Well you searched the rain for the silver cloud 

And you wait on days of gold 

When you pitch to the bottom and the dirt comes down 

You cry, so cold, so cold 

[Chorus]

Now there's something good in a worried song 

For the trouble in your soul 

Cause a worried man's been a long way down 

Down in a deep dark hole 

[Chorus] 

I'm down in a deep dark hole
